I have always thought that I have a very terrible memory, but on a second though I realize that I remember things very well, even the daydreams I have on a regular basis.
I have… How is it called? "Maladaptive daydreaming"?
What really happens is that I have become accustomed to mistrusting my memory because of how difficult it is for me to distinguish whether what I remember really happened or whether I imagined it.
I usually don’t think much of it because I assume it doesn’t cause me any big problems, but maybe this memory thing is a wake-up call…

Can you be sure about that?
I have a friend who says he has a terrible memory and he often asks me to tell him about things that happened in the past that we experienced together. You should definitely ask people close to you to do the same.

I have never gone to such extremes. I may confuse trivial details, but at the moment I have not reached the point of being forced to ask others about things that I either misremember or don’t remember at all.
